Development Manager

Full Time – Hybrid/Remote in Colorado or New Mexico

OUR VISION
To be an unstoppable force in the responsible energy transition, rethinking conventional forms of energy and helping everyone do the same.

OUR MISSION
To power the world with creative and proven renewable energy solutions.

COMPANY SUMMARY:
SunShare started a movement in 2011 with a simple idea: to give anyone with an electricity bill access to solar energy. Over a decade later, we’ve created something even bigger — a new way for utilities and consumers to move from centralized power generation to distributed energy, tap the power of the private sector, and tackle climate change in a cost-effective manner. SunShare is America’s oldest and most experienced community solar company. We develop, own, operate, and subscribe all of our projects, providing our customers and stakeholders an unparalleled experience. We believe making clean energy choices for businesses, institutions, homeowners, and renters should be easy and affordable, and that anyone with an electric bill should have the option to enjoy clean, solar energy. SunShare is a dynamic, fast-paced, and highly driven company, having developed more than 120 MWs of operational solar projects for both large and small utilities. Our unique focus is developing and operating community-based solar projects. Headquartered in Denver, we are committed to hiring and developing the best talent from around the world. All full time SunShare employees are treated as company owners and receive equity ownership in the form of stock options.

MISSION OF ROLE: 
This position will report to the Market/Regional Director and will own all aspects of developing a portfolio of projects. 

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

    • Securing land use permits by building relationships with the local community, planners, & elected officials
    • Developing local partnerships to enhance the community benefit of projects.
    • Curing Title issues
    • Understanding and navigating the local policy & regulatory requirements for a project
    • Navigating interconnection studies, queue positioning, and the securing of interconnection agreements
    • Identifying new area that should be targeted for development.


      ABOUT YOU:
      You have done what it takes to develop solar projects – from dealing with NIMBY issues, presenting to commissioners, negotiating land deals, and securing interconnection agreements. Developing a relationship with anyone comes easily to you. At the point when most people give up, you have found creative ways to solve problems, negotiate deals, and drive to win-win solutions.

      You care deeply about your community and our planet and are motivated to create a better future for both. While this work is hard, you enjoy the process because you know that this is how you create real change.

      You crave a fast-paced workplace where you can truly have an impact – for the world, your community and yourself. You are ready to work in a company that will truly value your contributions and is ambitious as you are.
